Sensing the World An Anthropology of the Senses

Sensing the World An Anthropology of the Senses

Sensing the World: An Anthropology of the Senses is a highly original and comprehensive overview of the anthropology and sociology of the body and the senses. Discussing each sense in turn – seeing hearing touch smell and taste – Le Breton has written a truly monumental work vast in scope and deeply engaging in style. Among other pioneering moves he gives equal attention to light and darkness sound and silence and his disputation of taste explores aspects of disgust and revulsion. Part phenomenological part historical this is above all a cultural account of perception which returns the body and the senses to the center of social life. Le Breton is the leading authority on the anthropology of the body and the senses in French academia. With a repute comparable to the late Pierre Bourdieu his 30+ books have been translated into numerous languages. This is the first of his works to be made available in English. This sensuously nuanced translation of La Saveur du monde is accompanied by a spicy preface from series editor David Howes who introduces Le Breton's work to an English-speaking audience and highlights its implications for the disciplines of anthropology sociology and the cross-disciplinary field of sensory studies. | Sensing the World An Anthropology of the Senses

American Exceptionalism An Idea that Made a Nation and Remade the World

American Exceptionalism An Idea that Made a Nation and Remade the World

How does American exceptionalism shape American foreign policy? Conventional wisdom states that American exceptionalism comes in two variations – the exemplary version and the missionary version. Being exceptional experts in U. S. foreign policy argue means that you either withdraw from the world like an isolated but inspiring city upon a hill or that you are called upon to actively lead the rest of the world to a better future. In her book Hilde Eliassen Restad challenges this assumption arguing that U. S. history has displayed a remarkably constant foreign policy tradition which she labels unilateral internationalism. The United States Restad argues has not vacillated between an exemplary and a missionary identity. Instead the United States developed an exceptionalist identity that while idealizing the United States as an exemplary city upon a hill more often than not errs on the side of the missionary crusade in its foreign policy. Utilizing the latest historiography in the study of U. S. foreign relations the book updates political science scholarship and sheds new light on the role American exceptionalism has played – and continues to play – in shaping America’s role in the world. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of US foreign policy security studies and American politics. | American Exceptionalism An Idea that Made a Nation and Remade the World

Sociology of World Heritage An Asian Perspective

Sociology of World Heritage An Asian Perspective

Taking mainly Japanese and other Asian case studies as examples Ogino examines the motivations behind the preservation of objects and sites considered to be of cultural significance. Using mainly the perspectives of Japanese approaches to cultural heritage the book critiques the European logic of cultural heritage enshrined by UNESCO. It contrasts a Western emphasis on monuments and sites with an Asian emphasis on more intangible forms of heritage which place less emphasis on a linear view of time. More practically the authors also analyse the positive and negative impacts that UNESCO-listed status has had on sites in Asia including Angkor Wat Nagasaki and Lijiang. Finally they address fundamental questions about who gets to decide what counts as cultural heritage and what the underlying rationale is for actively preserving heritage in the first place. This books is a thoughtful and provocative analysis of issues that will be of interest to sociologists as well as scholars and students of cultural heritage. | Sociology of World Heritage An Asian Perspective

International HRM in an Uncertain World

International HRM in an Uncertain World

This book explores international human resource management (IHRM) practices in the contexts of high uncertainties. It encompasses situations of financial crisis political and civil uncertainty environmental collapse and recession. Research on unstable and unpredictable contexts on business and HRM remain relatively scarce and scattered across disciplines. This volume brings together recent thinking from a range of different perspectives and methodologies. MNEs are often distinguished by the supposedly superior ability to implement highly tactical more robust talent management practices including work-based HRM-led and international systems in line with the rest of their worldwide operations; however they often fall short. The chapters in this book explore the how why and when. At a theoretical level this collection brings together developments and extensions of a range of salient theories. They explore common methodological challenges and ways forward for future researchers on HRM in high contextual uncertainty. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Resource Management. | International HRM in an Uncertain World

Teaching English as an International Language Implementing Reviewing and Re-Envisioning World Englishes in Language Education

How do teachers inspire students to learn to appreciate different Englishes? Has anyone tried to teach world Englishes? If so what do they do and how do they feel about it? Most importantly do students see the benefits in learning about world Englishes? This book responds to these questions by 1) offering a clear and solid foundation for the development of English as an International Language (EIL)-oriented curricula in an English Language program and a teacher education program 2) critically reviewing the current pedagogical principles and practices of teaching EIL and 3) offering an alternative way of conceptualising and teaching EIL. Using a three-year undergraduate program of EIL in an Australian university as a research site this book provides a detailed account of actual classroom practices that raise students’ awareness of world Englishes and engage them in learning how to communicate interculturally. This book is the first of its kind that explores the teaching of EIL in a country where English is a predominant and national language. | Teaching English as an International Language Implementing Reviewing and Re-Envisioning World Englishes in Language Education

World Population and World Food Supplies

World Population and World Food Supplies

Originally published in 1954. This great work surveys the distribution of the world’s population and the food production of all countries chosen as important by reason of either their demands on the world food market or their contributions to it. The author concludes that the more advanced countries can be reasonably assured of food supplies for an indefinite period. The less advanced countries can no longer rely on self-contained systems: they must seek co-operation with the advanced countries to supply them with the appliances needed for a more highly developed agriculture. This book at the time gave statesmen and their scientific advisers agriculturalists and agricultural economists an invaluable new instrument. | World Population and World Food Supplies
